As well as the 40th anniversary of Punk, 2016 also sees the 10th Anniversary of Southend Punk.com! Established in January 2006, the site has grown immeasurably and continues to evolve as new content is added all the time. I originally envisaged the site to be primarily aimed at covering the 1976-1986 era, but since its inception Southend Punk.com has received a lot of pertinent material that transcends this time frame, and contributions to the site have included some wonderful Pre-Punk material especially. Indeed, it is the contributions and feedback from people now spread all over the world that have been one of the most rewarding aspects of continuing this site. It has also been fantastic to be able to include Southend Punk material to various books that have appeared on the era, eg Alex Ogg's 'No More Heroes' & Ian Glasper's 'The Day The Country Died'. For an overview of the site and a good place to start: www.southendpunk.com/html/tenyears.htmlThere are many other parts of the site to explore, including the Live Bands Photo Page, the In Memoriam section, Southend Record Labels list and much more. Since starting the site, I have also launched my Label 'Angels in Exile Records' which has issued a Machines CD + a Vampire Junkies Featuring Texas Terri CD. Future plans include the elusive Southend Punk compilation CD, as well as other possible Southend Punk media such as a possible book. All that remains is for me to say thank you for taking the time to look through and support Southend Punk.com and to raise a glass to the next Ten Years! Steve x January 2016
